Schwarzman Scholars
A Selective Global Fellowship Program
Schwarzman Scholars, inspired by the Rhodes scholarship, is a program designed to help future leaders meet the challenges
of the 21st century and beyond by preparing them to better understand China’s culture, economy, governance and
motivations. Up to 200 Scholars chosen annually from around the world for this highly selective, fully-funded program will
have an unrivaled opportunity to live in Beijing for a year of study and cultural immersion. Scholars will study for a oneyear Masters degree in public policy, international relations, or economics and business at Tsinghua University, one of China’s
most prestigious institutes of higher education. A Schwarzman Scholar should demonstrate extraordinary leadership
potential, the ability to anticipate paradigm changes, strong intellectual capacity and exemplary character.
In the summer of 2016, the first cohort of young leaders will gather at the newly constructed, state-of-the-art Schwarzman
College on the campus of Tsinghua University in Beijing. Scholars will develop their leadership skills in a program designed by
faculty and experts from Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Princeton, Stanford and Tsinghua, among others. All classes will be taught in
English and students will have opportunities to study Mandarin.
